Carlow Brewing Company

The Carlow Brewing Company, also known as O'Hara's Brewing Company, is an Irish craft brewery located in Bagenalstown, County Carlow. It is one of the largest craft breweries in Ireland.

History
Seamus O'Hara established the Carlow Brewing Company in 1996 along with his brother Eamon. Due to the dominance of macro beers in Ireland at the time, the brewery was initially very export-orientated. In the last few years Irish interest in the brewery, and craft beer in general, has increased. In 2017, Carlow Brewery Company acquired Craigies Cider and Hijos de Rivera, a Galician brewery, purchased a 32% stake in Carlow Brewing.
